A Summer Walk

What a beautiful morning Pleasant and comfortable The sun in shining but not yet blazing A perfect time for a walk Kick off your shoes and walk barefoot through the grass Feel the Earth beneath your feet Nature is glorious Alboom with the most exquisite and pristine flowers As the sunflowers, roses and marigolds dance in the breeze their vibrant colours catch my eye Shimmering yellows, pinks, oranges and reds like a stunning sun rise on this summer's morning I stop briefly and sit under the most magnificent oak tree to listen to the wonderful music that nature has to offer. I close my eyes and listen intently. The buzzing of the bees, collecting pollen to make the sweetest honey. My taste buds tingle at the thought The ancient oak tree whispers in the breeze acting like a tall umbrella shielding me from the summer sun The breeze trickling my toes Nature is breathtaking A cacophony of birdsong fills the air around me as it drifts by on the gentle breeze Filling my ears with natures music What a pleasure it has been I walk on following the stream, feeling the grass between my toes The stream turns this way and that Bubbling and babbling away to itself Oh to have a paddle In an instant I'm transported back through time to being a kid as I dip my feet in the cooling water. Nature is spectacular Nature is my sanctuary I come across a mud patch, as dry as the Sahara dessert, with cracks like the Grand Canyon Well to ants anyway! Which way do I turn now in this evergreen land? I think I'll go this way and stop at that bench with a view of the stream, the grand old oak and the beautiful variety of flowers that Nature has showcased just for me. Calm and serine life is perfect On this blissful summer's morning.
